Autopsy: Emergency Room | Minutes From Death

Broadcast (2007) In this new three part series, von Hagens explores the impact that accidents and assaults have on the human body, while also demonstrating what first-aiders, paramedics and physicians can do to try to preserve life. First, he dissected human bodies to show how they work; then he did it to show how humans die. Now, Dr Gunther von Hagens, together with the British Red Cross, demonstrates how to save lives.

If you are speaking of the models that Dr. von Hagens uses in his demonstrations, then why would you ever presume that they should wear any clothing. This is a program about human anatomy directed at a mature audience. What is wrong with nudity? Especially in a situation like this when it is entirely appropriate. In fact, if you stop & really think about it for a moment & are honest with yourself (discard any preconceived prudish ideas) it will seem absurd that he would have them wear garments in this program. I only say this & responded to your comment mostly because I have watched several of his other fabulous, wonderful, informative, although somewhat macabre demonstrations & it seems so many others get side-tracked with similar comments about the “shocking” nudity. It is rather unfortunate for those who miss most of his points, general discussions, & topics due to an aversion to the human form.

Oh & yes, I agree this is very informative. From what I’ve seen of this & other shows, Dr. von Hagens is a bit of a character but he really does have a sincere, respectful approach & appears to take real joy in teaching.

I’m not shocked my nudity myself. I am a former health care worker and have seen hundreds of people naked. However, I do feel some of the nudity in this series unecessary. Why should the genitals be exposed unless there is a particular reason for it?
